I just now popped the cage up and crawled back in there and peeked around the hydrostatic reservoir. I can see the hoses far enough into the sidewall of the Bobcat to see where the fittings are crimped to the hoses. No chance of them crossing over. To confirm, the top pump hoses (large, maybe 1-1/2" diameter?) go to the rear of the drive motors, and the bottom pump hoses connect to the front drive motor ports. --- To get the drive motors out, you must have disconnected all four hoses inside the chassis and pulled the drive motor and hoses out the side. Wow, wouldn't be my favorite thing to do. Why did the motors need to be pulled? Hours on machine? Did the drive motors have the tiny lube port, or were they sealed? I still need to pull a track and sprocket and see if mine have an oil-change port on the drive motors. --- <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ---RC</p></blockquote><p></p>
